Switchboard Canvas

Making an image from a Tweet

You can use the Switchboard Canvas API to reference a tweet, and have the data from that tweet populate a template.

{
"template": "tweet2",
"sizes": [
{
"width": 1080,
"height": 1920
}
],
"tweet": "https://twitter.com/anafabrega11/status/1397581643083395074"
}

You can reference the tweet using the full URL to the tweet or just the ID:

{
"template": "tweet2",
"sizes": [
{
"width": 1080,
"height": 1920
}
],
"tweet": "1397581643083395074"
}

Your template must be set up with certain named elements. These values for these elements will be overwritten with data from the tweet when the API is called.
